Hi everyone my dear friends and visitors. This time I want to take part at the TOMIC challenge again. Well, I already wanted last week, already made my card for it, but then I missed the deadline to upload it... sigh... So you will see it to a later time. This week I made this card below. The theme is Easter in combination with a Photo Inspiration, and it have to have at least one egg on it. On mine are two :o). Hope you like it...

I coloured the image with Copics. The papers are Pion Design. And I added some clear crackle paint to the eggs, which you can see a bit better on the close up below...

Hi everyone, I am so proud I got asked to be a guest over at the Copic Marker Europe Blog. This really makes me feel so honoured.

I decided to play with one of the newest images of Whiff of Joy from the We're family collection. I used the image 'We are Family'. I really love so much to colour in grey tones. So those cute little mouses are perfect for me. I love Henry and his family.

To be honest I am very happy how this image turned out. I never had the chance to visit a Copic class so far, but exercised a lot by myself and watched quite some video tutorials at YouTube, and followed blogs. And I must say that I am more and more pleased with my colouring.

I used following colours for this image;

Grey Mouses: W7, W5, W3, W2, W1 and W0

Brown Mouses: E57, E53, E33, E11 and YR20

For the ears, tummy and tail I added: R20, YR00 and R00

Ceeks and Bows: R20

Cap: B93, B12 and B00

Background: BG10 and G000

Ground: E33, E11 and E50

On my card I wanted to keep the focus on this sweet image and only used few embellishment. The papers from Simple Stories 'Generations' is perfect for the theme of the stamp. The two corner dies are Sizzix and the lace is from my stash.

Hi everyone, hope you're doing fine and enjoy spring as much as we do here in Switzerland. Today I want to show you a card I made with one of the newest images from ching-chou kuik's. It is 'Pale Moon' and I love it, as the most images of ching-chou. It is available on plate # 199 together with three other gorgeous images, and as a single stamp as well.

I coloured her with Distress Inks and added some accents with white acrylic paint. The papers I used is from Glitz Design. Here's a close up of the image.

Hi my dear friends and fellow crafters. Hope you had a wonderful weekend so far. Today I want to show you a card I made with a no name stamp I already had for quite some time and never made anything out of it. Well, you know, we are four ladies, currently spending a craft weekend... woohoo... challenge ourselves from time to time. And the challenge was to create a card with this stamp. And here you can see what I made. To be honest I quite love my card. Not only that I love this shape of card... I made a gate fold card. This stamp is almost perfect for it I think...

While opening the card you can see this cute teddy holding a big heart.

Hi everyone, Karina here to show you the second creation I made with the super cute stamp set Lovely Lulu by Kraftin Kimmie. This time she is sitting in her bath tub with her teddy. Isn't she so adorable? I had so much fun with this image as well. I coloured it with Distress Inks. And I couldn't resist to add my own sentiment with means 'let me slurp your bath water' which is from a very old song by the Comedian Harmonists. I thought it is perfect for this card.

Hi my dear friends and visitors. Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and wishes which I always apprechiate so very much. As promised I am showing you today a card I made with one of the new Whiff of Joy images 'We are family' which are available from the 22nd March... they are soooooo cute. From all those sweet images it was hard to decide which one to colour in first. I have chosen 'Precious'... look at this sweet little baby laying in the arms of his dad.

I coloured the image with Copics. And I wanted to make the shape of the background looking like a bib, and I guess I succeed :o) The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy as well, available HERE.

Keep on coming my way to take a looksie, as I will show some more previews of the new collection the next few days. I know you want to see them :o).

Hi everyone,
after a very busy week with getting up in the early morning at 5 am and
not coming home in the evening before 7 pm I haven't a card to share
with you today.

BUT....

.... I have great news for you!!!

About three weeks ago, Katharina, owner of Whiff of Joy Stamps
made a call for new members of her great design team. And as I love her
products so much I made an application. And guess what??? Few days ago Katharina mailed me and asked me to join her team... yippieh!!! Of course I had to think about it no second, as you can guess :o)

And I also want to tell you some more great news.... as Whiff of Joy
is celebrating an upcoming release (22nd March), and from today the
team is showing you previews of the new wonderful images, dies and
sentiment collections to the theme 'We are family'! Sweet Henry brought
his family this time. The new images are perfect for this season;
family, babies, fathers- and mothersday. Katharina and we all from the team are excited to present you those new products.

Just check back tomorrow when I will show you my first project I made with one of the new sweet images. Don't miss it!!

Hi dear Sweet Pea Stamps friends, today I want to show you something totally different as I usual do. I tried out a new technique. I stamped and coloured on acetate. Those beautiful images from ching-chou kuik's are perfect for this. I used 'Ladybug' here, which is available on Plate # 79 together with three other fabulous images. Ladybug is available as a single stamp as well.

I stamped the image with a black Staz'On ink pad on a sheet of acetate. Then I coloured the image on the backside with Copics! On the frontside I added some little accents with a white gel pen. The background I used here is the card which was in a package of Prima flowers. I thought it would fit perfect as the background for my image, which is shining through the acetate. I abstained adding embellishments as they would take off the focus from this gorgeous image which I didn't want.

Hello again, I have another card to show you today. As another challenge is starting today. At Whiff of Joy Challenges we have a sketch for you. It is a sketch I created :o). I really had so much fun to work with it. And here is what I created. Isn't Wee from Whiff of Joy soooo cute?

Hi my dear friends and very apprechiated visitors. Today I have a new card to show you. We started a new challenge over at Crafts and Me Challenges and we want to see

CIRCLES

For my card I used two of them, as frame for this gorgeous image I used. It is called Angel with Emeralds by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. I love it. Those big wings are just fabulous. I decided to make a colour combo of yellow and blue, as I wanted to use my new Glitz paper pad, although emeralds are green... but who knows this... ;o). At least I haven't known before...

Here's a close up of the image. I added some yellow stickles to the hair wisps and as eyeshadow.

PS: Silly me... I posted this a week too early... I seem to get old... yuck... So I had to delete it again and sheduled for today. But I safed the lovely comments I already got a week ago... thank you so much!! If you think you already saw this card you know now why... :o))
